Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup coconut oil
- ¾ cup granulated sugar or brown or coconut sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice bottled or fresh
- 1 medium lemon zested, or ½ teaspoon lemon extract
- 2 and ½ cup all-purpose flour ¼ cup will be used for strawberries
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces Greek Yogurt plain or vanilla yogurt, sour cream, or buttermilk
- 12 ounces strawberries diced (2 heaping cups)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (aka confectioners)
- 3 to 5 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 or 2 drops red food coloring if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with non-stick spray.
- Toss the strawberries in ¼ cup flour. Set aside.
- Sift together 2 and 1/4 cup flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the lemon zest.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter, coconut oil, and sugar until light and fluffy. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides.
- Add the eggs one at a time. Beat until mixture is creamy and fluffy for about 2 minutes at medium speed. Stop the mixer at about 1 minute and scrape the sides.
- Add the lemon juice.
- Next, add flour mixture alternately with the yogurt, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in the strawberries by hand. Never overmix a cake after adding the flour or it will be tough.
- Pour batter into pan and smooth the top.
- Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Whisk powdered sugar, heavy cream, and food coloring together until smooth. This glaze needs to be thin and pourable. Add more heavy cream if needed. Pour over warm cake.
- Garnish with strawberries and mint if desired.
